EveryBlock Debuts in Portland, Ore.
msnbc.com-owned local news provider EveryBlock now has micro-local sites in 16 cities following its launch in Portland, Ore., Thursday.
The launch came about as the result of an Open Data Initiative by the city’s Bureau of Technology Services, which enabled EveryBlock to work with city agencies to collect, analyze, and organize raw data.
The site’s “Notify Your Neighbors” feature allows users to comment and post announcements about their neighborhoods, including sharing eyewitness news reports, starting discussions about neighborhood-focused issues, or alerting neighbors about missing pets or garage sales.
